Course Description

This 5-day program provides an in-depth overview of remote sensing technologies, including satellite and aerial image acquisition, data processing, and practical applications across environmental, urban, and industrial domains. The course explores electromagnetic spectrum fundamentals, sensor types, spatial and spectral resolution, radiometric corrections, and preprocessing techniques. Participants will study image analysis methods, including classification, feature extraction, change detection, and accuracy assessment. The program also examines the integration of remote sensing data with GIS, mapping, and modeling tools, and explores applications such as land use monitoring, environmental management, disaster assessment, and precision agriculture. By the end of the program, participants will understand the full workflow of remote sensing projects and how to interpret and apply remote sensing information for real-world decision-making.
